I have heard a lot from them about mixed marriages and they got a lot of grief from both her family and some from ours. It was more though their experiences here in the Villages. This was ten or more years ago. My younger brother lived here in the Villages for a year and a half.

And many of the home care people we get are African-American. From all different places though as far as ethnic background.
Mixed marriages can have lots of challenges. Sadly, you finally found that person that you want to spend your life with because they bring you such joy, and family, friends, society at large has to make waves when they should be happy for you for finding your special one.
